Introducing....

Big Bertha....nope....'lil Blue....nope...hmmm...maybe we'll skip the naming for now ;).

Oh well... she's a beauty.Yesterday was so full of ups and downs. Friday night we figured out a problem in our financing, so most of Saturday James spent calling around to different dealerships in the metroplex and even down in Austin. He finally found someone that would work with him and he headed out. Four hours laters, he pulled up in my 2009, Glacier Blue Kia Sedona. Only 54 miles on it (and thats after driving to church today Ü).
When we all finally got up this morning....we showed the girls outside. Bella says "It's so pretty! It's so big!" They were almost as excited as me to get in and crawl around. Almost. hehe.
We took them for a little spin around the neighborhood...

Aube carried that old cell phone around all day...seriously...all thru church, too!
One of my favorite parts....POWER WINDOWS!!! You've never seen a gal get as giddy as me about POWER WINDOWS!!! :)
It all ended well and turned out my pessimism was not warranted...they even took the Escort as a trade-in! I'm just glad it's figured out and done with....but now comes the season of doing better in the spending department, cutting back and what not. It's worth it though. Totally worth it.

So cool!! Love the color...I'm not partial or anything but we have the same color for our van!! :) Oh...and did I mention that I love vans!?! :) You will be so happy you got it and wonder what you did without it!?! Congrats!

You will love your van. Having to trim spending to make room for a car payment is worth it if you love the car you drive.

Keep working on those names! Lil blue really doesn't fit her! lol

...or cutting spending to have a RELIABLE car is worth it. I felt the same way. HATED to have to have a car payment again, but once we did it, I was so relieved to not worry about it getting us from A to B! Congrats!
